Summary
For this month’s SWG-challenge ‘The Only Thing To Fear’, I tried something a little different- which was to write short ficlets for as many prompts as possible. (Admittedly, I wanted them to be drabbles at first, but I just couldn’t manage).
Some of these turned more into PTSD-stories than phobias, but I think it still fits the challenge.

Summary

欲问孤鸿向何处 | a longing to ask the lone swan where it goes by erumelde

Summary
Before he knew it, Wen Kexing had grabbed his wrists and shaken them so the snow slipped from his hands. Then he flipped them around, pinned Zhou Zishu down in the snow, and looked down at him with triumphant eyes.
“Do you yield?” he declared.
Zhou Zishu looked up at him—the dark eyes flashing with mockery, the flushed skin sparkling with snow, the soft curved lips—and thought: Yes. Heavens, yes.
He went completely pliant in Wen Kexing’s grip, stopped struggling, and melted into the snow and the touch, testing Wen Kexing’s reaction. Only his fingers twitched; the movement pressed the tendons of his wrist more firmly into Wen Kexing’s palm, and Zhou Zishu could have sworn he nearly died a second time.
Breathless, he stared into Wen Kexing’s eyes, his chest still heaving from their scuffle. He saw Wen Kexing draw a sharp breath as well, before abruptly looking away and letting him go.
---
In which Zhou Zishu desperately yearns for Wen Kexing, but doesn't know how to ask for what he wants. Includes ridiculous attemps at seduction, an incredibly high amount of sexual frustration, and Jing Beiyuan coming to save the day.

千山暮雪 | a thousand mountains under twilight snow by erumelde for LadySternchen
Fandoms: 山河令 | Word of Honor (TV 2021)

Summary
Zhou Zishu regarded him with empty eyes, as though he did not understand the innuendo. “You died,” he said quietly, as if that explained everything.
He paused, because it did not. He searched for something more to say, but all that came were those two words. You died.
Wen Kexing’s smile faded. For a fleeting moment Zhou Zishu thought he had understood, despite his own wordlessness. After all, he was his zhiji—the one who knew him.
Or at least, he had once believed so.
Then Wen Kexing laughed. It was awkward, uncertain, but it was laughter, and Zhou Zishu realized he understood nothing at all.
---
Snowed in inside the World's Armory, Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing are forced to confront the consequences of their mutual deception. Post-canon angst with a hopeful ending.

There's something so eerie about love when one is bound to bear the secret of not telling the other, so agonizing that every step he takes bears nothing but tragedy.
In universe where Su Muyu sacrifices his life for Su Changhe and Su Changhe has to bear the burden of loss. -

Summary
When Su Muyu trained a spider with Mu Yumo’s help, he never thought it would one day save his life. Too bad it didn't have a palatable way of doing so.
